Following on from the success of The Model Agent last year, RTÉ have this year teamed up with IMG, the most successful talent management company in the world, to bring Irish fashion fans The Model Scouts.

The Model Scouts in question are Jeni Rose and David Cunningham - Vice Presidents of International Development in IMG Models Paris and New York respectively - who have scouted in more than 40 countries around the globe. For this new series they have visited Ireland for the first time in a quest to source a new face for IMG. In the end nearly a thousand girls applied butonly 21 girls were short listed. The ultimate prize on offer to the successful girl is a one-year contract with IMG Models who represent an impressive international portfolio of models including Gisele Bundchen, Lily Donaldson, Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole, Mischa Barton and Liv Tyler.
